ADHD Love are a neurodivergent married couple and global internet phenomenon with millions of followers online. But this is a side of Rich and Rox you’ve never seen before. In one of their most honest conversations yet, they open up about the reality of navigating ADHD, autism, masking, intimacy, alcohol, marriage, and the challenges that come with being a neurodivergent couple. We discuss whether ADHD and autism have ever put a strain on their relationship, how their traits clash behind closed doors, Rich’s autism diagnosis, whether either of them could actually be AuDHD, the ups and downs of planning a wedding, and the surprising theory that changed how they understand themselves.
